Why Tuller?
 One of Tucson’s best-kept educational secrets is hidden away from view behind Park Place Mall and has been in operation at this same location since 1956. The Abbie Loveland "Tuller School" offers a quality education to Pre-Kindergarten through Twelfth grade students. We offer small classes, which allows each student to progress at their own pace while developing lasting childhood friends. Due to the diverse scope of the Tuller Method, all children have the opportunity to become successful scholars. We believe that all children are able to excel when given a loving environment to explore and learn about the world in which they live. The first Tuller School was founded in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1927 by Rev. Mother Abbie Loveland Tuller Ph.D., a well-known educator who had received her doctorate at Harvard, taught at Smith and Wilson Colleges and served as Dean of Woman at Denison College. Dr. Tuller left her collegiate work in order to write a course of study that she felt would give all students the opportunity to reach their individual potentials. This course of study is still used today. The Abbie Loveland Tuller School is affiliated with the Episcopal Church and is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation owned and operated by the Sisters of The Order of the Teachers of the Children of God. The Order’s vocation is to foster the Christian education of children of all denominations. Tuller School is a member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools and the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools. “Our son has just completed his first year at Tuller School in second grade. He has been so happy with the experience and so have we! The teachers and staff are truly committed to each child’s success. The school day is structured and the atmosphere is warm and caring. Although this is a small school, there is nothing small about its offerings. Our son has taken part in so many activities this year. Besides his core curriculum he has enjoyed music, art, physical education, a wonderful library, parties, fairs, field trips, and more! The German language classes have really been impressive. It’s been such a thrill to witness our child speaking and writing another language. The Tuller educational method is unique and individualized. What we have enjoyed the most as parents has been knowing that our child is being educated in a safe, beautiful environment by people who really care about him." - Given by Daniel & Joan Gilb, parents of Joel Gilb on 4-16-07. |
